To achie vethe lo west possible fuel consum ption,
it is recommended touse the engine oil specifica‐

th e appr ovedSA E viscosity classes.
If th e engine oils lis ted in theta ble are not availa‐

of thefo llowing engine oils once only:
R Vehicles with a gasoline engine: MB-Frei‐
ga be or MB-Appr oval 229.3 or ACEA A3/B4
R Vehicles with a diesel engine: MB-Freigabe
or MB-Appr oval 228.5, 229.3 or 229.5

TEEngine damage due toincor rect
SA E classi fication (viscosity) of the
engine oil If
th eSA E classi fication (viscosity) of the
engine oil added is not suitable for prolonged
low outside temp eratures, it may cause
engine damage.
The temp erature readings of theSA E classi fi‐
cation are al ways based on fresh oil. Engine
oil ages when driving as a result of soot and
fuel residue. The characteristics of engine oil
de teriorate significantly at low outside tem‐
peratures. #
Use an engine oil of the appropriate SAE
classi fication at low outside temp era‐
tures. #
Use oil for all-year-round operation. The
temp erature readings of theSA E classi fica‐
tion are al ways based on fresh oil. The temp era‐
ture characteristics of the engine oil, especially at
low outside temp eratures, can de teriorate signifi‐
cantly due toaging when driving.
Therefore, Mercedes-Benz recommends that you
ch ange the engine oil before thest art of the cold
season. Only use an appr oved engine oil in the
prescribed SAE classi fication forth is purpose. The viscosity indicates
theflow characteristics of
a fluid. With rega rd toengine oil, a high viscosity
is synonymous with thick liquid and a low viscos‐
ity with thin liquid. Depending on the outside
te mp eratures, select the engine oil according to
th eSA E classi fication (viscosity). The table sho ws
th eSA E classi fications tobe used. The low tem‐
perature characteristics of engine oils can de teri‐
orate significantly during operation due toaging
and soot and fuel acc retion, forex ample. A regu‐
lar oil change with an appr oved engine oil in the
appropriate SAE classi fication is therefore
stro ngly recommended. Te
